THE DEFINITION OF ART
1. HISTORICAL AND THEORETICAL STUDIES
1. Formativeness
All human life is, invention, production of forms; all human industriousness, whether in the moral field, are those of thought and art, engenders forms, organic and complete creations, endowed with comprehensiveness and have own autonomy: forms are produced by the human operation, both theoretical constructs as civil institutions; both everyday achievements and those undertaken by the technique as a painting or a poem.
As each training an act of invention, a discovery of the production rules as required by the thing to do, it is stated so intrinsic artfulness of every human operation.
A principle of autonomy able to differentiate the formation of the work of art of any other type of training; to define art as feeling of intuition.
A personalistic concept of the person unitotality that every time specifies its activity in a speculative way, practical, artistic, always remaining - uniformly - thought, morality, formativity:
Only one person's philosophy is able to solve the problem of unity and distinction of activities, as explained, based on the indivisibility and the person's initiative, each operation always requires and also with the specification of an activity and the concentration of all others: if the operation was the absolute spirit, there would be no distinction between the activities and all be reduced to one.
Therefore, as a speculative venture implies an ethical commitment, passion for research and a wise artisticity able to guide the search resolution process and the willingness of results morality as the commitment that makes the art is felt mission and duty and precisely prevents the formation follow another law that is not the work to be done; as well as intervenes feeling as emotional coloring that takes commitment and which develops; and intervenes intelligence as continuous judgment, watchful, aware, governing the organization of work, as critical control that is no stranger to cosmetic operation "at the time it develops reflection and judgment," warned Croce, "art dissipates and dies ... "and that is not the support of the creative action, resting phase and heterogeneous reflection to an alleged purely fantastic time, but it is the smart move toward the way, exercised thinking inside the formant operation and back for aesthetic achievement.
Given therefore that activities co-presence in person operating whole, what distinguishes art from other personal initiatives is the fact that with it all the person's activities are geared towards a purely formative intention:
In art, this formativeness, which invests all spiritual life and makes possible the performance of other specific operations, it is specified in turn, and accentuates a prevalence subordinating himself all other activities, assuming an autonomous trend .. . In art, one way ... only to form and thinks and acts to form and can form.
Concept of how the body is structured thing that leads back to the unit elements that can be feelings, thoughts, physical realities, coordinated by an act tending to the harmony of this coordination, but proceeds according to laws that the work of art itself posits and evidence
in its doing-it.
Contents of all training specifically thereto; It is the artist's own person. The narration object: the person so that is declared by the formant work as style, way of forming; the work tells us, expresses the personality of its creator's own plot of your consist, the artist lives the work as concrete and very personal trait of action.
Through the work of art, filtered throughout the entire original personality and artist spirituality, denounced, rather than by subject and by theme, by own unrepeatable and very personal way he held to form it.
The content of the work is the person of the creator at the same time, it is so because it is the body as a style (which can be found again every interpretaste reading) mode, with which the person graduated from the work and also way in which and by which the work is. Thus, the very subject of a work is nothing but one of the elements in which the person has expressed making her own self in forms.
* So disputes over terms like content, matter and form are meaningless.
